This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Whoa, oh, it's out at night he goes
Believes the underdog will eventually survive
And he's never, never sad
But he's not sure what he's found
Sets his sights on the search of a lifetime
Sometimes he likes to sing that old black magic
Believes the underdog will eventually survive
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Not long now till the ultimate experiment
In the name of science and all its wonders
Hey hey, he's cool in every way
In this world of fools
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Whoa oh, it's off to work he goes
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Than to fulfill his dreams
He loves the world except for all the people
They are a person who feels good to be alive
Dr. Heckyll wishes nothing more desperately
He wants to cure all matter of imbalance
Letting loose with a scream in the dead of night
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
They are a person who feels good to be alive
He knows there's no one there
He drinks it down and waits for some reaction
He locks the door and looks around nervously
They are a person who feels good to be alive
Dr. Heckyll is his own little guinea pig
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
He's breaking all the rules
As he's breaking new ground
Hey, hey he fumbles for what to say
To all his work and care
Trying his best to unlock all the secrets
'Cos they all think he's mad
He sips easily into conversation
